When I'm not making stuff, I can sometimes be found writing fiction with a friend. Our latest novel, "Kate vs the Navy" is now out and available from Amazon.
It's a good read, at least according to the people who received pre-production samples, and in case you are wondering (yes, those are red shoes on the cover, but you get a ship too) not chick-lit at all.
Gareth Fothrington-Thomas has made a huge mistake. He’s given Dave Thomas a job without consulting Kate. And Dave and Kate have history – embarrassing, complicated history.
But the Ministry of Defence have just
asked KoD Associates to oversee the closing of an almost-forgotten naval
base. It’s the company’s biggest contract yet, and a good performance
could mean Kate can finally buy Gareth out.
However, nothing is ever straightforward. Tracey
views work as a chance to have fun. Kelvin’s virtual life is far more
exciting than his real one. And Captain Norris and his crew not only
want to stay employed, they’re also keeping a secret. A rather large
grey secret.
When Kate misses a key meeting she feels the
whole process slipping out of her hands. Even an unexpected upturn in
her personal life can’t compensate for the worry that things are about
to go horribly wrong …
Join the team who first appeared in Kate vs the
Dirtboffins as they become reluctant and unwelcome guests on a tiny
island, battle local wildlife and tackle the Royal Navy in another
madcap adventure.
It's funny, heart-rending in places and generally a good fun read. And we'd both be really pleased if you'd buy a copy. Even more pleased if you'd then review it on Amazon.
Perfect for Christmas and cheap too (I know you like that) - go on, give it a go...
Considering how much I enjoyed the first book, I cannot wait to read this one. Amazon is being Amazon and wanting to send it to some random person's kindle, but once I have sorted that, I shall purchase and give it a read and of course, a review also.
ReplyDeleteWhy dont you just publish properly so that I can buy it in a bookshop

If you know a publisher who would take on a couple of unknowns then we'd love to. Sadly, unless you are a celebrity, it's very, very difficult to break in to the traditional publishing world. Pity really, as then the publisher would have paid for cover design and proofreading!
ReplyDeleteThat said, self-publishing is sometimes the route to traditional publishing, 50 Shades of Grey went that way and it's not the only one.
